Short staffed in the kitchen but egg-celent results

Tuesday 3rd June

Written by Martin R

Despite being really short on numbers in the kitchen at Foodcycle this week. The team still managed to get a 3 course meal out to around 35 seated guests and an additional 7 take aways. Gill stayed on after her food collection to help in the kitchen as we were a few members down which was egg-citing. The team decided on a starter of egg salad open sandwich 🥪 🥚 followed by mushroom 🍄 pasta with sweetcorn and cheese 🧀. Dessert was a rather egg-pertly chopped up fruit salad with a bramley apple pie or a caramel tart, courtesy of Mr K (other brands are available but not as egg-cedingly good). Chanel and Neill were part of the hosting team and made sure everyone was served with their meals. Cracking show tonight team 👏 👌 🙌 👍🏻 Well done all

Mac & Jeez, is that 500 not out?

Tuesday 13th May

Written by Samantha Anne McNabb

This weeks Foodcycle was as busy as ever as we cooked for, looked after and cleaned up after over 40 guests. In the Kitchen we welcome Lucie to her first Goodgym session and she help the rest of the team creating a fantastic 3 course meal out of a very limited donation of surplus food from our local supermarkets. Samantha was her usual happy self, keeping on top of the washing and drying up, whilst being generally helpful and providing a clean a tidy place for us all to work. Yazed helped the hosting team, who were under staffed so the work that he supported was even more important than usual. The task was not only lucky enough to have a first timer but we were also able to celebrate with Gill who clocked up her 500th, yes, I said 500th Goodgym task. What an amazing achievement for one of our Goodgym Luton superstars. Gill you're a legend, keep doing what you do. Excellent effort by all, we'll done

Oranges are Not The Only Fruit - or are they?

Tuesday 6th May

Written by Gill (She/her)

Another Tuesday night and a couple of our regulars were back at FoodCycle. There wasn't much food surplus and in fact there was limited fruit apart two crates of oranges Gill had collected at the weekend. There were also a couple of boxes of hen eggs and some Easter eggs too and she soon got creative in creating a Jaffa Cake inspired dessert with orange segments in syrup, orange sponge and a chocolate sauce drizzled over the top. She also helped prepare the bangers and mash main course.

Darshini and Omar were on the hosting team and did a fabulous job, especially with Darshini getting stuck into the washing up when the meal had been finished.

Covering all bases

Tuesday 29th April

Written by Martin R

Today at Foodcycle, Luton Goodgymers flexed by covering all 4 of the roles that need covering this week. Gill led the way, collecting food surplus from a local supermarket. Which I used to help the kitchen team to create a fantastic 3 course meal for over 30 guests. Samantha was next to join the ranks as she took on the pot washing task in her extremely efficient way whilst also helping to take the shells of several eggs. Darshini arrived to support the hosting team and did a fantastic job as the team were a little short of volunteers this evening. Tonights menu had an Egg Salad starter, main of vegetable curry with onion rice and naan, and dessert was fruit salad and a selection of cake. Everyone from the Goodgym team helped in different ways this evening showing again the positive impact Luton Goodgym have on our town. Fantastic job today team l, you smashed it
